We were lucky to get a point.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

In the final analysis I am content with a share of the spoils.
A draw at Newcastle is a creditable result.

Ayew, Doucouré, Guehi and Guiata worked hard and earned us what was a bit of a fortunate point. Olise looked good when he came on. Wilf went back to looking disinterested (although he was constantly tripped, stepped on, pulled and pushed with little from the ref), Eze totally off his game. If Newcastle had more quality they would have won that. As it was they looked like a £150 million Burnley with long balls, set-pieces and balls flung into the box. That will be effective though against many teams, especially when they don't have to play the diving midget. As for us we need more fight in games like this as Ayew and Cheikh can't do it alone in midfield.

That could be the point of the season.

I have to say Wilf wasn’t in the game today and gave the ball away. Edouard looked better than he has been recently when he came on.

Hate to say it but we miss Kouyate. I think him and Doucoure in midfield would give far more licence for Schlupp, Eze Ayew or Olise to attack.

I suppose we have to wait for Jimmy Mc to come back or give Hughes a go.

No, really hard work and well won point. Toon did not deserve the win.

Plenty to complain about but they are a good team at home with squad depth. We did well.

According to the BBC we had 9 shots on target to their 6.
Doesn't sound like it!
